Lolz, as far as color, I really don't have a specification any further than 'not pink, not pink!' XD Yeah, I'm doing my best not to think in terms of the age group; I'll try a 24" next time I get to go to a bike shop, see how it feels. If it feels good, I'll probably go for one, since they're a cheaper option.

Does anyone know if you can add fenders and racks to 24" bikes? Seeing as kids would never need it, or want anything beyond a handlebar basket. If so, I'm most DEFINITELY going for it. The local LBS I talked about with high prices actually has decent prices on the 'kids' bikes.

So, I've been poking around on some websites, and I found this:

It looks pretty nice, from reviews I've found rides great, and it's local! And a good brand of course. I just can't tell if it can support fenders and a cargo rack. BUT, if it can't support the rack, I'll just mount a basket on the front, I only need to be able to carry a few things with me, at least initially anyways. Opinions?
